Not only that. It shows how the media took a single scary report, created an entire movement around it, and the scientific community completely failed to discover or correct it.

Yeah, like that's never happened before:

DDT ("silent Spring")

Population "control" (i.e. abortion).

Nuclear power generation ("The China Syndrome").

Global Warming (conpiracy of the Left).

Don’t forget the Daminozide, i.e. Alar – apple scare of the 80’s.
